Training Opportunities

biometrical methods and in new developments of advanced morphometrics
and biostatistics (surface&volume data, missing data, deformations,
integration of categorical data with geometrical data, extensions to
semilandmarks), characterisation of growth in living humans,
paleoanthropology, age and sex determination, data-guided
reconstruction of specimens, and electronic preparation.Add. regular teaching:

biometrical methods (cephalometry based on cranial nerves, dental age
assessment and quality estimation, clinical applications),
quantification of variability in cranial growth and development in
living humans and chimpanzees, biostatistical methods and analysis,
electronic preparation.Add. regular teaching:

orthodontics (growth and development, diagnostic methods, treatment
planning and prediction, surgical treatment prediction) and development
of software for diagnostic, research and educational purposes
MS-Windows operating system) under special consideration of
user-friendly intuitive interfaces. dHAL has close ties to the
University of Athens where trainees can gain a better understanding of
the clinical needs for the toolbox.Add. regular teaching:

optical 3D-metrology, acquisition and visualisation of 3D surface data
and its advantages and limitations, determination of landmarks and
biometrical measures from surface scans of the human face and body,
software development, dissemination of R&D results into commercial
applications and products.

Courses (three or five days) will focus on writing and presenting
skills necessary for the communication with the broad, non-expert
public and especially with journalists (e.g. at press conferences). For
this goal GEO can make use of established connections with two
journalistic training institutions: the prestigeous "Gruner + Jahr
Journalistenschule" and the "Deutsche Akademie für Publizistik" (both
with their headquarters in Hamburg). Additionally a course in TV
publishing can be organized in cooperation with ARTE, one of Europes
finest TV channels, and the leading German public channel ARD.-
fundamental skills not taught at any University to any
researcher.Add. regular teaching:

methods and methodology of programming in a commercial environment, own
methods for very high performance pattern matching, statistical
methods, project management, robust code development, and coding-team
integration. AURA technology's for use in archival, and searching of
very large complex data sets.Add. regular teaching:

Regular training courses for the use of AURA software for image
analysis and recognition tasks and other compny-related
technologies

Use of NESPOS and its standard tools, data standardisation problems,
data input to the archive, administration of large public data base,
realisation of exhibitions for a broad public, dissemination of results
at a website (Neanderthal Museum), dissemination of tool boxes,
analysis dental sequences, count and packing of Retzius lines and
perikymata, paleoanthropology

EVAN Fellowship Informations:

The main purposes of our EVAN network are the
training-through-research, including Ph.D. studies of young researchers
under the supervision of experienced scientists, clinicians and
developers who share common interests in quantitative morphology and
state-of-the-art imaging and analysing techniques.
